		+	Another update on VLAN settings
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	I’ve configured the switch according to prerequisites as follows:
		+	Step 1: Enter the switch via CLI
		+	Enter ‘enable’
		+	Enter ‘Configure Terminal’
		+
		+	Step 2: Configure the required vlans on the switch ( in our case 2-10) and configure ports as hybrid
		+	Enter ‘vlan 2-10’
		+	Enter ‘exit’
		+	Enter ‘interface ethernet 1/<port-num> switchport mode hybrid’
		+	Enter ‘interface ethernet 1/<port-num> switchport hybrid allowed-vlan all’
		+
		+	· To verify this you can perform the following commands:
		+	‘show vlan’
		+	‘show interfaces switchport’
		+
		+
		+	Step 3: Enable DCB priority flow control:
		+	Enter ‘dcb priority-flow-control enable force’
		+	Enter ‘dcb priority-flow-control priority 3 enable’
		+	interface ethernet 1/1-1/<max-port> dcb priority-flow-control mode on force
		+
		+	· To verify this you can perform the following command:
		+	‘ show dcb priority-flow-control’
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
